Sir, would you be so good as to tell us
where it is that we have arrived?
The French colony of Louisiana
off the shores of a town they've named New Orleans.
Always and forever, Rebekah.
That is what we once swore to each other.
Consider this me calling take-backs.
Oh, you've called take-backs dozens of times over the centuries,
and yet when our father found us
and chased us from this very city...
I may be old, Elijah, but I'm hardly senile.
I know very well I stuck with Klaus,
and not
years.
Do you know why?
Because I had the audacity to try
and live my life on my own without him.
Enough. I believe our brother is in trouble.
So whatever is going on between Marcel and the Witches,
it's dire enough that they'd risk
bringing an original back to town.
The witches have lured him here.
I'd like to know why.
Oh, you got me into this, Jane.
Oh, give me the strength to finish it.
The doors work, you know.
You're doing magic?
I'm praying to my dead sister.
Go ahead. Pay your respects.
Don't make this a thing, Sophie.
The hybrid was looking for Jane-Anne.
Marcel wants to know why.
I'd say ask her yourself, but I guess you can't, see,
Because Marcel killed her.
I'm Elijah.
but you must understand
that our father hunted him,
hunted us for centuries.
Every time we found a moment of happiness,
we were forced to flee, even here in New Orleans,
where we were happiest of all.
Not long after Niklaus broke the spell
which prevented him from becoming a hybrid,
he defeated our father.
I thought this would make him happy,
but he's angrier than ever.
I wonder if, perhaps, this baby
will be a way from my brother to find happiness,
a way to save him from himself.
I'm glad you feel that way
because we need your help.
What, precisely, is it that you want?
What does it have to do with this young woman?
We want to run Marcel and his vampires
out of town.
Klaus is the key.
Everything Marcel knows about being a vampire
he learned from Klaus.
Marcel trusts him, looks up to him.
He won't see the betrayal coming.
Yes. Well, as I'm sure you're aware,
my brother Niklaus doesn't like to be told what to do.
It's why I brought you here.
Marcel drove the werewolves out of town
decades ago.
Do you really think he's going to welcome
a hybrid baby to the neighborhood?
Convince Klaus to help us,
and no one has to know about the newest member
of the original family.
Sounds remarkably like blackmail.
Like I said, I'm desperate.
Well, then,
I have my work cut out for me, don't I?
Evening, Elijah.
Niklaus.
What an entirely unwelcome surprise.
And what an entirely unsurprising welcome.
Come with me.
Have you heard of me?
Yes.
So why don't you tell me
what business your family has with my brother?
This is sacred ground,
which means vampires have to be invited in...
